Greetings - I use Evolution to read mail from several POP and IMAP accounts. This morning, for the first time, when I click on "Send/Receive," the fetching clicks off when it reaches my Comcast accounts. Before I call up Comcast TS and listen to them tell me (again) that they don't support non-Microsoft products, does anyone have any ideas about how I can troubleshoot this problem? The only change that I made to my accounts was that, during my clean-install upgrade (SuSE 9 to SuSE 9.2, Evo 1.4.6 to Evo 2.0.1), I temporarily changed the "Receiving Options" settings to "Leave Messages on Server." I changed them back after I completed the transition.
Attached is a little python script that will query a pop server and list all the emails (From, Subject, Date). You'll have to change pop.east.cox.net to Comcast's server name. That will verify if you actually have any email. Usage: $ python poplscox.py username password -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- Ron Johnson, Jr. Jefferson, LA USA PGP Key ID 8834C06B I prefer encrypted mail.

The better OS though, IMHO, is the one that will openly deal with issues, both major, and minor. Microsoft still needs a lot of work in this area." http://www.securityfocus.com/columnists/202/comment/24104#MSG
